When was the last time you gave your heart some real attention? In the fast-paced rhythm of life in Singapore, it’s easy to brush off that mild chest tightness or breathlessness as just “being tired.” But your heart could be quietly asking for help. That’s where heart screening packages come in giving you a clearer picture of your heart health before issues become serious. With so many heart screening packages available across Singapore, it can feel overwhelming to decide which one is right for you.
Why Consider a Heart Screening?
Heart screenings help detect early signs of heart disease, sometimes before you notice any symptoms. In Singapore, where conditions like high blood pressure and high cholesterol are common, regular screenings can play a big part in keeping your heart healthy.
Whether you have a family history of heart problems or just want peace of mind, a screening can give you valuable insights.
What’s Typically Included in a Heart Screening Package?
Heart screening packages in Singapore can vary quite a bit, but many will include
- Blood pressure check
- Cholesterol profile
- Blood sugar test
- Electrocardiogram (ECG) to check heart rhythm
- Treadmill stress test (for those at higher risk or with symptoms)
- Chest X-ray or echocardiogram (in more comprehensive packages)
The more detailed packages may also offer tests like CT calcium scoring to check for artery plaque.
How to Choose the Right Package
Here are a few points to think about:
- Your age and risk level: If you’re under 40 with no risk factors, a basic package might be enough. But if you have high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, or a family history of heart disease, consider a more detailed package.
- Your lifestyle: Smokers, those with a sedentary lifestyle, or people under high stress might benefit from a more thorough check-up.
- What’s included: Not all packages cover the same tests. Look for one that fits your health profile.
- Follow-up support: A package should provide more than just numbers. Ensure you have the opportunity to discuss your results and next steps with a doctor.
